Water heater plastic plug cross thread
So this is my 3rd camper w the same Atwood water heater w/plastic plug. It's terribly located to get a wrench to tighten it, and it cross threads everytime I try to reinstall it. There has to be a way...

I replaced the plug with a butterfly valve on my previous camper. No more problems.
Can't really get the crud out thru a butterfly valve plus unless it's copper(Brass?) you may have a problem with galvanic corrosion sealing it in place forever. (Two different metals corrode when water passes over them). Atwood also uses the nylon so you destroy the threads on the plug rather than the tank.
